there is no single form of truth. we are constantly in a state of revision. society/culture/america/my cat is always having a crisis of identity. there is never an age that does not question the one that came before and, in doing so, question itself.

“This book gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.”
– In 1944 a children’s book club sent a volume about penguins to a 10-year-old girl, enclosing a card seeking her opinion.
She wrote this.
American diplomat Hugh Gibson called it the finest piece of literary criticism he had ever read.

audiences would flock to see leo in a dress.
looking through movie trailers on imdb and stumbled on the one for j. edgar, the biopic of j. edgar hoover.
my question is, are they going to cover the fact that he was probably a closeted transvestite, or are they just going to skim over it with mild hints towards homosexuality?

i like dark clothes, dark stories, dark films, dark photographs - an aesthetic usually associated with depression and melancholy.
but i’m content. perhaps with a slight tinge of numbness. but really, all my discontentments are expunged by reading, writing, viewing, telling stories.
i’m pretty good at getting angry, though.
